      It’s definitely an eye opener. I find myself being a negative whiner more often than I’d like to admit but diving into history makes me question my priorities. Regardless of the fact that most wars are unnecessary, a lot of these soldiers were kids shipped off to almost certain death under the impression that it was what was made a man. It’s sad and I couldn’t be more thankful that I haven’t found myself in that situation. People call you a “boomer” for this comment but you’re right!

  • @360rocketz
    @360rocketz 3 роки тому +6

    Well from an Americans perspective who only joined the war right at the end, the German trenches may have seemed empty and the war may have seemed over, yet it still seemed like a very frightening experience for an American soldier. I can only imagine what the real allied soldiers that survived went through for four years and also while the war was at its peak.

    Imagine if that Christmas story, where they paused the war for coffee, if both side met in the middle as the front line. Change uniform to shoot one direction or another, and call in the artillery overhead to pass over. Get enough offices in on the BS and everyone survives and goes home after the war, because a stalemate lasting forever would eventually make the leaders sue for peace. The generals back home would see their front line creeping calling it success for a while then snap back to the old lines and wonder what gives.

    I really appreciate how they actually have these dudes historically accurate uniforms. Based on the uniforms, this video takes place in 1915. Gas mask aren’t accurate though but whatever.
